slowly away, held up in last, headway and went second over 1f out, ridden and led inside final furlong, kept on strongly |

23rd Jan 2023 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
Big improver in cheekpieces and has won his last four starts, the last three over C&D; he's climbing the weights and is in a tougher race today but is clearly thriving and could still have more left in the tank. |
3/1 |
1st 5 (4) |
10th Jan 2023 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Just lost out on yard debut but has put a firecracker under his handicap mark since with three 1m wins (two C&D) since cheekpieces added; the winning margins are shrinking and is now 4lb higher than when a narrow winner 12 days ago so this might not be plain sailing. |

9st 7lb |
Well-bred colt who ran twice on turf for Sir Michael Stoute in the spring (1m2f, good to firm), finishing a promising third on his Leicester debut but disappointing when sent off odds-on at Windsor next time; makes his debut for his new yard after 212 days off having undergone wind surgery in May and changed hands for 60,000gns in October; brother to a Polytrack winner and market can guide. |

9st 11lb |
Failed to win for Jamie Osborne but made it 2-2 both for his new yard and in Tapeta handicaps when winning at Wolverhampton on Monday (about 1m1f); needs to settle better on this second quick start under the penalty but the hat-trick is very much on the cards otherwise. |

Goes well here and is only 2lb higher than when winning over C&D in October; hasn't stayed longer trips the past twice, hanging left under pressure each time, and is one to consider returned to 1m2f. |

25th Jan 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 42y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Added to his healthy AW strike-rate with two 9.5f Wolverhampton wins last month; just as good when chasing home the reopposing Dream Harder there on Boxing Day but another nudge up the weights seemed to anchor him last time. |
11/1 |
6th 4 (9) |
9th Jan 2023 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Made it 4-4 over C&D when completing a double last month and he ran well again to finish second behind a well-backed improver here 14 days ago; up another 3lb but he remains well treated on his best form and is a key player. |
5/1 |
2nd 1 (5) |
26th Dec 2022 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |

Made it 4-4 over C&D with two wins already this month, the latest in an amateur riders' event 13 days ago; 4lb higher but still a major player given his record around here. |

Three wins in 2022, including over C&D off this mark in January; ended the year with some respectable efforts on AW and certainly no surprise were he to go well. |

26th Dec 2022 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 2 |

Three wins this year, including over C&D off this mark in February, but he finished around 3l behind Civil Law back here last time; a 4lb pull may not be enough for him to reverse the placings. |

9st 10lb |
Close third in a 1m Irish Group 2 in September 2021 but nothing like that in his six starts since, the last three for this yard; tongue-tie off, first-time cheekpieces on now returning to AW (won a Dundalk maiden on debut) after a four-month break; plenty to prove. |
